Multichannel Channel Order Options

[xslig]

I've found that the option "--channel-order=" only works with raw PCM.

I had a 5 channel WAV (FL,FR,LFE,BL,BR) that I encoded. I then used "wvunpack -s foo.wv" and got back "channels: 5 (unassigned speakers)"

I wanted to have the channels assigned so

CODE

wavpack --channel-order=FL,FR,LFE,BL,BR foo.wav

and got back "this WAV file already has channel order information!"

I converted the WAV to raw PCM then

CODE

wavpack --channel-order=FL,FR,LFE,BL,BR foo.raw --raw-pcm=48000,24,5

which worked.

Is the option "--channel-order=" supposed to work like this?
I would think it's counter-intuitive that one couldn't change the channel order of a WAV file with the "--channel-order=" option.

Edit:

It was actually a WAVEX if that makes any difference.
